This is what my debian.list looks like.
I replaced "us" with "de", and still get exact same error.
Shouldn't there be a / after debian in last line?
like so:
deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free

From init 3:
apt-get clean
apt-get autoclean
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade -f
That hosed the damn error!
Later on will switch back to us instead of de.
Is it OK to leave just that one line in debian.list?
Please note that syntax in manual is without the / after debian.
Error?
Thanks!
